We now know that odor molecules are diffused throughout a room by the motion of air molecules, which are constantly moving and bumping into them.  We also know that warm air moves faster than cold air, and that increasing the movement of the air (like with a fan) will increase the diffusion process.


In this experiment, we look at what happens when the odor molecules find their way into your nose. Your nose has smell cells located in a small area called the olfactory epithelium. We will use them here to match smells with other smells.
